Criticism of an obituary? Letter writer has stooped to a new low

To The Daily Sun,

There is so much pontification and bashing that goes on in the letters to the editor that I often only skim through. However one letter written by Mr. Albushies caught my eye. He criticized an obituary... an OBITUARY?. In my life, I have never seen a letter writer stoop so low. Obituaries are written in a time of grief.

Some folks write their own, and their family publishes it verbatim. As it should be. Maybe the man in question loved soccer? Maybe that was his life passion? He clearly sounded like a well educated man with a stellar career.

It could be that he was extremely proud of the fact that his play in high school gave him the ability to play at the college level, (a feat very few high school students accomplish). And so it follows that most likely his time in college led him to law school, which led to his career. College is difficult enough, but to balance a pre-law education and a collegiate sport is no easy feat.

Who are you, Mr. Albushies to criticize someone else's obituary? Who are you to judge anyone's grieving process? I have seen a lot of nonsense and ridiculous posturing over political and other issues in the paper, but you sir (?), have sunk to a new low.

I personally, have no idea who you are referring to in your letter, but I am offended and can only hope that they did not see your letter.
